Summary
The Implementation Working Group (IWG) on hydrogen set up in 2023 aims at implementing part of the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) of the European Research Area (ERA) pilot on green hydrogen, and coordinating the work on hydrogen previously split between different IWGs of the SET Plan. This ERA Pilot on green hydrogen SRIA addresses specifically the need to ensure mutual coordination on an ongoing basis among national and regional hydrogen R&I programmes. It aims to maximise cooperation and synergies among member states and associated countries, and avoid inconsistencies, duplications, and fragmentation of measures.
Detailed Call Description
The support action is intended to facilitate the work of the hydrogen IWG by further defining its mission, supporting the preparation of the Implementation Plan (IP) on hydrogen and ensuring synergies with other SET Plan IWGs, domains and objectives, with activities focusing on:
- Organisational support to the Implementation Working Group on hydrogen.
- Analysis of the ERA pilot on green hydrogen SRIA and identification of the actions to be taken on by the IWG in the IP.
- Proposals to further develop the work initiated by the SRIA, for the parts relevant for the SET Plan.
- Coordination with other SET Plan IWGs to ensure complementarity of the actions.
- Coordination with other initiatives/projects and establishment of links with stakeholder’s fora.
- Facilitation of exchange between member states and stakeholders on best practices and lessons learned.
- Dissemination and networking activities with other existing ETIPs and IWGs (e.g., joint workshops, thematic conferences, webinar series, regular exchanges, etc.).
- Development and implementation of robust outreach approaches, development of assessments of risks (including environmental ones) and design and implementation of solutions, and societal engagement actions to span across the EU and Associated Countries.
- Organisation and management of documents and files with feed-in of relevant outputs of this CSA into the SET Plan information system (SETIS).
